Although Fang Chengsong already had some premonitions in his heart, he still felt dizzy when he heard the other party say it so clearly. Governor of Kansai? ! Fang Chengsong is not unaware of the importance of this position. In addition to the original six Kansai prefectures, he also has to supervise eight major prefectures, including Hejian Prefecture and Tianshui Prefecture, where he was originally the city guard, with a population of more than 12 million. It is also the well-deserved largest county in the entire Western Xinjiang Protectorate. Even the northwest county where the Protectorate is located can only hold it behind. I don’t know how many people stared at such an important position with red eyes, but it was so light and airy. Just give it to yourself in one sentence, a prisoner who has just been released from prison? ! Fang Chengsong found it difficult to accept for a while.
"Your Highness, are you a little too rash?" After calming down, Fang Chengsong considered the pros and cons. Although he yearned for the great honor and status that this position brought, he still politely rejected the other party's proposal: "Although Cheng Song also hopes to get a stage where he can express himself, Cheng Song has just been released from prison after all. He is not familiar with all aspects of the situation inside and outside the empire and His Highness's territory. His Highness has many candidates who are more suitable for this position than Cheng Song. So I think if His Highness can give Chengsong a chance to return to Hejian, Chengsong can promise His Highness that within a year, Chengsong will rededicate a prosperous Hejian in front of His Highness."
Nodding with some heartbreak, Wu Feng's estimate of the person in front of him was a little higher. He could clearly understand his own strengths and weaknesses. This is exactly what many people find difficult to do. It seems that the Governor of Kansai is not very good. He is the best one: "Haha, Chengsong, whether it is rashness or partiality, I never care about the rumors outside. You don't need to think about it. You just need to do things steadily according to your own ideas." But. As long as it is determined by this king, it cannot be changed. Hejian is originally within the jurisdiction of the Governor of Kansai. Of course, I want to see a prosperous Hejian within a year. You are needed to select the governor of Hejian City. You screened it for me, and I also hope to see a prosperous and vibrant Kansai Eight Prefectures within a year. This is your responsibility! I hope Narumatsu will not disappoint me!"
Wu Feng's sonorous words and firm trusting eyes dispelled all worries in Fang Chengsong's heart. It's not like he didn't try to control the power of the Eight Palaces and show his ambition. The near-death in prison had made him put life and death aside. How to show what he can do in the second half of his life, and engrav his name in the history books for future generations to comment on, this is what he longs for. But even though he had been in the imperial officialdom for some time, he still refused to be too sharp or too revealing according to his mindset. You must know that sometimes taking a step back is to move forward more steadily and faster in the future, but the meaning of Wu Feng's words is not It is as heavy as a thousand equals. Not only must we see a prosperous Heshuo within a year, but we must also see a prosperous Kansai within a year. This burden is not something that just anyone can bear. He We can't shirk it, let alone let down His Highness King Qin, who has high hopes.
"Since His Highness said so, Chengsong has nothing to say, except to repay him with his body." Fang Chengsong's eyes were a little red again, and even his words were a little choked. This was the difference. He had been working hard in the river for seven years and could not make any further progress. , and here as long as you are talented and have only met for a few days, you can trust each other with the position of governor of a county. What else do you have to look forward to, hesitate to move forward? Although this sentence could not be more vulgar, it could not be more appropriate to describe what Fang Chengsong was thinking in his heart at this moment.
"Haha, Narumatsu, don't be so serious. It seems that the position of Governor of Kansai is like a gate of hell that has no return. With this king behind you, don't have too many worries and thoughts. The Eight Prefectures of Kansai are included in this book. The king's territory will not last long, and I haven't had time to make a big move in the government system. Bad habits are prevalent. I hope that after you take office, you can sweep away these bad habits and make Kansai develop into the true chest and abdomen of our Western Xinjiang. Land." Wu Feng smiled, his eyes were bright, he reached out and patted the agitated opponent and comforted him, but then the conversation changed and he got to the real point.
Although he was still a little immersed in great excitement and emotion, Fang Chengsong's years of political experience allowed Fang Chengsong to feel that there was something in his master's words when Wu Feng's tone changed. Fortunately, he had not been idle in the past few days after he was released from prison. , from Li Wufeng's behavior to the economic development of the northwest, to Li Wufeng's conquest of neighbors and various performances in the imperial capital, he tried every means to understand and master it. The current situation in various parts of Western Xinjiang is the focus of his analysis, especially the land of Guanxi and Heshuo. Due to historical reasons, Heshuo and Guanxi have always been connected as one, with close exchanges. Fang Chengsong is in Heshuo. When I was in office, my understanding of the political and economic situation in the surrounding areas was somewhat biased. During the period of imprisonment, Kansai has changed a lot on the surface, but not much on the inside. At this time, I heard the other party say this , naturally it is clear that the other party wants to test its future policy policy towards Kansai.
Seeing the thin man raise his head thoughtfully, Wu Feng smiled and continued: "Since you have accepted the position of Governor of Kansai, I also want to hear some of Narumatsu's plans for you after taking office, what do you think?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fang Chengsong was thinking nervously, but he was not idle at the same time: "Your Highness, are you a little too anxious to take the test at this time? I have no preparation."
"Haha, Chengsong, don't pretend to be in front of me. From the day you were released from prison, how many newspapers and magazines did the people around you buy for you during the five-day journey from Hejian to Hanzhong? From "Empire News", "Everyday" "Daily Express", "Mainland Times", "Business Weekly", "Northwestern Star", "Nanfang Daily", and "Kansai Current Affairs" in our western Xinjiang, I think there is half a carriage piled up, right?" When we arrived in Hanzhong In the past few days, the officials responsible for receiving and accompanying you have all been frightened by your questions. I think that although many of my subordinates are by my side, I am afraid that you may not be qualified enough to understand the situation in Western Xinjiang after being here for only a few days. How thorough?" Wu Feng teased the other person with good intentions.
He rubbed his thin cheeks in embarrassment. Seeing that he could not push him away, Fang Chengsong stopped being modest: "Your Highness, although Chengsong is interested in finding out more, after all, time is still short, and many specific situations may not be understood accurately and clearly. Now that His Highness wants to test me, so Chengsong can only reluctantly talk about it first."
"As His Highness just said, although Your Highness took over the control of Kansai, the situation in Kansai has not changed significantly compared to the northwest, Western Regions, Northern Luzon and other places. Even Tiannan, which took over later, has reversed its development speed quite a bit. No, the reasons are very complicated. I believe His Highness also has his own considerations. Kansai has been the land of kings and hegemons since ancient times, and Hanzhong is also known as the three capitals together with Zhongzhou and Jinling. Your Highness also knows that the current situation in the mainland is changing, and many people who used to be in the past have What was the foundation of the dynasty and empire has now become a stumbling block that hinders the development of society. I heard that His Highness once studied in the Western Continent. I believe that His Highness also saw the rapid changes there, from being far behind our Eastern Continent to Now there is a faint tendency to overtake the Western Continent. There are many reasons for the rapid development, but I think one thing is very important, that is, the new class that promotes social development has replaced the old class that was decayed and declined in the past and has become the main force of the historical trend. The new class has become the main force of historical trends. The era of change has arrived!"
Wu Feng's eyes flashed repeatedly, and the man seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "Well said, it seems that Cheng Song also knows the situation in the Western Continent very well, please continue."
This was the first time Wu Feng used the word "please" in the long conversation between the two. Fang Chengsong's words seemed to remind him of a discussion in the past.
"When Chengsong was young, he traveled to the countries along the Baltic Sea in the Western Continent and gained a little bit. However, these ideas have never been seen outside. Today is the first time that he has talked about it with others." Fang Chengsong was already talking and kept talking for a while. : "The so-called old and new classes, in Cheng Song's view, are the industrial and commercial class and the original landed aristocracy. It is precisely because of the growing strength of the industrial and commercial class in the Western Continent that they gradually control the superstructure and have a huge influence on national policies, resulting in many people in the Western Continent Countries have established the purpose of building a country through industry and commerce. It is precisely because of this that these countries believe in worshiping money and taking risks. The lower class people and small businessmen believe that as long as they dare to take risks, they can achieve wealth and success, while big businessmen and big workshop owners lobby the government to encourage Develop industry and commerce and sell goods to all surroundings. It is under such circumstances that the economy of the Western Continent will develop by leaps and bounds. In just a few decades, it has already surpassed us in the East."
"Well, in Cheng Song's opinion, how should we deal with it now? Should we imitate or find a new way ourselves?" Wu Feng asked with a thoughtful frown. This was exactly the problem that troubled him. The conservative forces in Kansai are strong, but judging from the current situation, they tend to support themselves. How to transform this large number of conservative forces representing the landed aristocrats into the main force in line with the trend of historical development without triggering Their strong rebound was indeed a huge test. Until now, Wu Feng has not come up with a more appropriate way, so he has not made any bigger moves against Kansai.
"Your Highness, there are no solutions, but the situation here is not completely consistent with that of the Western Continent. Cheng Song is not very sure about many things. To put it bluntly, Cheng Song can only fumble and move forward step by step. The experience of the Western Continent can be It can be used as a reference, but it cannot be completely imitated. I believe that your Excellency has also considered this issue." He raised his head and looked at Wu Feng with some heavy eyes, "This requires His Highness to make the decision for Cheng Song."
